Tracks are not calculated properly for a "Data CD"

Help
1

As I’m not sure if this is really a bug, I’ll post it here first.

When I’m using “Data CD” as the medium (e.g. for an MP3 Album) beets does not calculate the tracks properly:

Tagging Robert Harris - Konklave

No tracks.

The “No tracks.” only happens when it is a “Data CD”. After I changed this to CD it worked smoothly:

As Musicbrainz Picard makes it properly, I assume this is an issue of beets, and should be resolved within beet? Or is this wanted, that Data CDs are handled differently?

Best regards,

Maybe try turning ignore_data_tracks off?

Thanks for the hint. As
ignore_data_tracks: yes
is the default, I expected this to directly work. But, it didn’t.

There is still “no tracks” at the end, and the right musicbrainz release is still not in the list.

So no change in the behaviour, if I add
ignore_data_tracks: no
to the config.yaml or not.

The tracks are MP3s (not data tracks) but the MP3s are on a Data CD. So this might be a different issue, than the data tracks.

Shall I file a bug report? Or do you have any more ideas? I’m always open for any suggestion!

Can you please include your config file? Are you sure you have the ignore_data_tracks option in the right section?

My config.yaml (maybe I should put it in the match section???):

Yes, as the docs indicate.

No changes in behaviour, if I set it to as first line in the match section…

match:
    ignore_data_tracks: no
    strong_rec_thresh: 0.15
    preferred:
        countries: ['DE', 'XE', 'US', 'GB|UK']
        media: ['Digital Media|File','CD']
    ignored_media: ['Data CD', 'DVD', 'DVD-Video', 'Blu-ray', 'HD-DVD', 'VCD', 'SVCD', 'UMD', 'VHS', '12" Vinyl']

ARGL…

Sometimes I’m blind looking through config files…

After I removed the ‘Data CD’ from the ignored_media, everything worked fine - of course!

Thanks for the hints and help, anyway.
